The Winter of Frankie Machine

Praise for The Power of the Dog:
No one since James Ellroy has conveyed the morally troubled heart of the American dream with such savage aim… A future classic.

* The Guardian *
Don Winslow is the kind of cult writer who is so good you almost want to keep him to yourself – Ian Rankin
The first great dope novel since Dog Soldiers thirty years ago. It’s frightening and sad, with a superbly sustained intensity. A beautifully compressed vision of hell, with all its attendant moral madness – James Ellroy
A damn good read. If you’ve never read Don Winslow, start now – Val McDermid
It is impossible in a few words to do [it] justice… It’s a huge book, both in size and scope * Sunday Telegraph *
It was hard to see how Winslow could top his excellent 2006 novel The Power of the Dog, but he’s done it … Masterful * The Guardian *
Smoothly oiled, superbly assembled … A traditional mob tale on steroids * The Providence Journal *
A gripping thriller … Like his book’s central figure, Mr. Winslow is good at what he does * The Wall Street Journal *
Graceful … Wonderfully imagined … Winslow’s story explodes with … gritty realism * Pittsburg Tribune-Review *
Smart, staccato … A reading experience of sustained intensity, with appealingly sleazy characters and an Elmore Leonard-like snap in the dialogue * The Plain Dealer *
